Copy (Ctrl+C)

When one or more objects are selected, you can copy those objects to the clipboard. The objects are copied to the clipboard in a native AutoREALM format (for pasting back into AutoREALM), a bitmap format (for pasting into paint programs), and a metafile format (for pasting into clipart programs).

Cut (Ctrl+X)

Like Cut, copies the selected items to the clipboard, but also removes them from the map.

Paste (Ctrl+V)

Pastes the selected objects into the center of the map. Click on the edge of the red selection border and drag the object to the desired location. (To make a copy of an object a specific distance away, see Create Array.) You can paste from AutoREALM into itself, and you can paste metafiles or bitmaps from other programs into AutoREALM.

Delete (Del)

Removes the selected objects from the map.
